Please note: Vinegar should not be used on granite or marble because the acid may etch the surface. Here’s my favorite granite and marble spray recipe.

Once you’ve mixed up your disinfecting spray you can spray away. I like to spray all surfaces thoroughly, let it sit for about 10 minutes (to kill germs), and then wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. In the bathroom it’s important to avoid any cross-contamination so I wipe in this order with separate cloths – mirror, sink, tub/shower, toilet. Go to this post for my 15 minute bathroom cleaning strategy. If you’re using this spray in the kitchen, the same rules apply for cross-contamination – use separate cloths for separate areas. No rinsing is required with this recipe.

Are you ready to make your own cleaners? It’s so easy! It’ll save you money and better than that, it’s so much better for you and your family! Go here to see more posts with my favorite DIY cleaning recipes.

Love it! I use Tito’s to make my own vanilla extract…it’s so tempting to drink it straight from the bottle because it smells amazing but then I always remember it’s pure vodka! Could it be used in this recipe and just leave out the oils?

Silly question. I tried keeping my bathroom only microfiber separate from lgehra and hubby let mixing them up so I started using paper towels (viva brand)or Lysol wipes for cleaning toilets. When you’re mentioning cross contamination, are you suggesting we can wash a towel used on a toilet and then re use for anything? I also don’t wash kitchen towels with cleaning towels and not sure if I’m getting things clean and disinfected in the wash. Side note: I have a new washer with a sanitize option now.

I have been using half alcohol like the 90% kind and water. Half-and-half solution spray-on after a light cleaning with a mild detergent and then rinse then go over with Clearwater and then use a solution above. Let solution sit on counter 5 minutes then buff dry puts a wonderful shine on it too as well as disinfect for a granite counter. What do you use?

I love making my own cleaning solutions its way better and it cost not a dime if u have the stuff and I don’t have a glass bottle I am using plastic bottle instead. If that’s ok with you. Don’t have the money to get glass bottle and I don’t know where to find one except the website on here
